Best Answer

Paracrine signaling is a form of cell signaling in which the target cell is near ("para" = near) the signal-releasing cell.

A distinction is sometimes made between paracrine and autocrine signaling. Both affect neighboring cells, but whereas autocrine signaling occurs among the same types of cells, paracrine signaling affects other types of (adjacent) cells.

What are paracrine hormones?

Paracrine hormones are local hormones that diffuse a short distance to other cells.Hormones produced by the autocrine and paracrine route are restricted to working within the cytoplasm of the cell where as exocrine and endocrine hormones move within the body of the organism.

What are the paracrine glands?

Paracrine glands are similar to endocrine glands but instead of secreting material into the bloodstream or into their ducts, their products act on the target cells by diffusion of their material into the extracelular space or in the immediately subjacent connective tissue.
